Before anyone even thinks about "global warming" or "climate change" I strongly suggest they read "Isaac's Storm" by Erik Larson. Reading like a novel, this meticulously researched book documents the hurricane which devastated Galeveston, Texas in 1900. This factual account imparts the jewel of wisdom that a mere 114 years ago we knew absolutely NOTHING about the weather.
But now only a few short 114 years later we stupidly claim to know all about the weather? How could this be?
Our planet, Earth (for those of you who seem to forget that we actually live on a planet which is a speck in the greater and grander infinite Universe) has been around for about 4.5 BILLION years. Of course there has been and continues to be climate change! But the Earth has managed to survive climate change without any interference or help from anyone for those same 4.5 BILLION years. Thus, we have all procreated to dispute the matter.
The emissions from our factories and cars and the more recently blamed (and supposedly even worse!) infernal cow farts (methane) are supposedly causing "global warming" which has now morphed into simply "climate change" because, quite frankly, no one really knows WHAT is going on. But consider this. Dinosaur flatulence must have been huge and even worse than all our little cars and cows combined. Were the dinosaurs obliterated because of climate change? No. They were obliterated by what science believes was an asteroid.
Since the sky is so vast it is very likely that if such an asteroid were heading towards the Earth at this moment we would not even detect it until it is upon us. Which leads me to be much more concerned about an asteroid smacking into the earth than climate change.
Having said all of the above, I do believe we need to care for the environment. Like no littering, for example, and get rid of the garbage in a clean way. But we, the United States of America, cannot control the rest of the entire EARTH and other countries' regulations regarding the environment. So while we cut off our self-sufficiency by not implementing the Keystone Pipeline and we impose ridiculous regulations upon our agriculture system (our breadbasket and the farmers) and hindering INDUSTRY we have absolutely NO control over the REST of the planet which is the majority of the planet. Can we control the destruction of the rainforests which plays a huge role in the cause of climate change? No! Not unless we want to declare war on the rest of the entire world and THIS administration wants to declare war on NO one.
I think the Liberals need to really calm down and re-think this whole thing. I think a whole new government needs to put in place in this country. One which respects the Constitution and the will of the people and which has a reality based mentality rather than a politcally based greed for power.
We, the PEOPLE of the United States of America (and not, Me, Obama, the President of the United States of America) need to move forward and forcefully towards an intellegent government that will allow this country to realize its capabilities by becoming a totally self-sufficent nation with a strong industry in order to provide employment for our CITIZENS.

I'll admit when it comes to politics, I don't know all the processes. So, can you guys answer some concerns of mine on fundraisers (FRs)?
My research is admittedly lacking but, as of 6/12/2012 he had accumulated 160 fundraisers* and, since the beginning of his second term until 3/16/2014 had 45 more. So, close to or over 200 total. I also read that the average time he spends speaking and such is @ 2 hours. That adds up to over 16 days of being "out-of-office".
*He opted out of the public election fund but, doubt if that applies to FRs since sworn in in 2008.
I assume each fundraiser our Muslim in Chief (and other presidents) goes on, we foot the bill.
#1 question is why? If I am not associated with that party, why should I foot the bill?
#2 question is, are there limits to the number and frequency?
It seems to me the cost of security, Air Force One and, all that goes along with a presidential public appearances on that many fundraisers is quite excessive and, obviously, one sided. The link below discusses his various trips abroad. The report states that according to the Freedom of Information Act, Air Force One, all by itself, costs $228,000 per hour. I think it is safe to say he is not trying to save us any money.
Lets say he flies from D.C. to California, a round trip of 10 hours. $228,000 X 10 = $ 2,228,000 just for airfair!!!!! What are the odds his fundraising exceeds the cost of the trip getting there? Even on a short trip?
If he truly had fiscal responsibility in mind, he would fundraise via video conference.

Iraq is all but lost today. The green zone is all but awash in a sea of blood. Baghdad is falling, the people are fleeing…running for their very lives but to where? We don’t know. THEY don’t even know but they know they can’t stay there.
What started as maybe 1500 Sunni insurgents has turned into tens of thousands of them and as they continue to stream into Iraq from the northwest, from Syria, they gain strength, momentum and rage.
Having taken the Iraqi central bank in Mosul, ISIS is now the most well-funded terrorist operation on the planet. They, unlike so many other terrorist hoards, don’t have to rely on third party financial support because, from that bank in Mosul, they plundered more than $425 million dollars and as they extend their terror from one Iraqi city or town to the next, they gain more riches.
Into each town or city they enter, they carry the heads of those they have murdered on their bayonets and on poles. In their wake, they leave the mangled bodies of those they crucify and headless corpses litter the streets behind them.
The purple ink that once was a proud display of having voted has faded from the fingers of the dead though it never faded from their hearts and it is very much on the minds of those who flee.
I am sickened by those who, in their desperation to excuse Obama for this, attempt to blame Bush.
“Bush started an illegal war” they say. No…no he didn’t. Bush had the consent of congress to go to war in Iraq and that included a damn good number of liberals. “Bush LIED” they scream but, no…no he did not as he provided TO congress all intel gathered on Saddam and it wasn’t just our intel either. The world’s intel operations showed Saddam’s Iraq to be in possession of chemical weapons and trying to build nukes.
Then liberals try to claim that Bush falsely blamed Iraq for 9-11 but I have yet to have so much as a single one of them provide me with proof that Bush blamed Iraq for that. They can’t because, he never did and they know it.
No…
Let’s pray for all the fathers in the world. 6-15-14
Dear father, you give us your love, your rules and law to follow- Ephesians 6:4
Father, today we pray for all the fathers of the world, give us the wisdom and courage to follow your rules and law to be a good fathers. Love is the seed of happiness in our home; before we become a good father we must love our wife as we both will have the responsibility to build the family that will follow your laws. Today there is no role in our modern society that suffers a greater neglect as the role of the father. Not only has God given men the incredible privilege of imitating Him as Father, He has placed upon the shoulders of fathers an incredible responsibility. As our society has chosen this day to celebrate fathers, it is appropriate to remind fathers of their God given responsibilities.
By God's laws, anyone who is a father should first be a husband (cf. 1 Cor. 7:1-5). Otherwise, souls are guilty of the sin of fornication (cf. 1 Cor. 6:9-10; Gal. 5:19-21). Therefore, being a responsible father first necessitates being a good husband. One must love, honor, nourish and cherish his wife in every aspect of her life (cf. Eph. 5:25-30; Col. 3:19; 1 Pet. 3:7). Only then will one be prepared to be a good father.
As a father, no challenge rings clearer in my mind than that set forth by the apostle Paul, who says, "And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord" (Eph. 6:4). In just a few words, the Spirit speaks of responsibility, accountability and possibility in light of those who have taken on the good work of being a father.
Fathers play a unique and important role in the lives of their children. As mentor, protector, and provider, a father fundamentally influences the shape and direction of his child's character by giving love, care, discipline, and guidance. As we observe Father's Day, our nation honors fatherhood and urges fathers to commit themselves selflessly to the success and well-being of their children. And we reaffirm the importance of fathers in the lives of their children. Raising a child requires significant time, effort, and sacrifice; and it is one of the most hopeful and fulfilling experiences a man can ever know. A father can derive great joy from seeing his child grow from infancy to adulthood. As a child matures into independence and self-reliance, the value of a parent's hard work, love, and commitment comes to fruition.
Responsible fatherhood is important to a healthy and civil society. Numerous studies confirm that children whose fathers are present and involved in their lives are more likely to develop into prosperous and healthy adults. Children learn by example; and they need their father's presence as examples of virtue in their daily lives. A child's sense of security can be greatly enhanced by seeing his parents in a loving and faithful marriage.
Father we thank you for all your blessing and your guidance to be good fathers. Amen.
My Grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I...
My Father watched as his friends died in WW II and Korea ...
I watched as my friends died in Vietnam .....
None of them died for the Mexican Flag...
Everyone died for the U.S. flag...
In Texas , a student raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole; another student took it down.
Guess who was expelled.. the kid who took it down.
Kids in high school in California were sent home last year on Cinco de Mayo because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them.
Enough is enough.
The below e-mail message needs to be viewed by every American;
and every American needs to stand up for America ..
We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough...
I'm taking a stand...
I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the U.S. flag can't stand up...
And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message...
Let me make this perfectly clear!
THIS IS MY COUNTRY!
And, because I make This statement
DOES NOT
mean I'm against immigration!!!
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY!
Welcome!
To come through legally:
1. Get a sponsor!
2. Get a place to lay your head!
3. Get a job!
4. Live By OUR Rules!
5. Pay YOUR Taxes!
And
6. Learn the LANGUAGE like immigrants
have in the past!!!
AND
7. Please don't demand that we hand over our lifetime
savings of Social Security Funds to you.
When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS???
We've gone so far the other way...
bent over backwards not to offend anyone...
But it seems no one cares about the
AMERICAN CITIZEN
that's being offended!
WAKE UP America !!!
Okay, I understand how law enforcement agencies would love to have free armored vehicles to better protect themselves and the public but, I can't help but think there are strings attached. Nothing is ever truly free.
Here is what I fear: The government disperses MRAPs throughout the country and, at a time of Obama's choosing, imposes martial law. He then has the military re-take the MRAPs and use them against us.
Or, I'm totally paranoid.
Surplus US military gear, including MRAPs, going to local police
Published June 14, 2014
189
FLORENCE, S.C. – The large armored truck parked outside the Florence County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina offers deputies more protection than they’re likely to ever need.
“But if it exceeds our needs, then it will obviously meet our needs,” explained sheriff’s Capt. John Crouse, adding that his county didn’t have to pay a dime for the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle.
That's because at the end of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the U.S. military is offering surplus equipment to trusted agencies and governments on an “as is/where is” basis. Due to the high cost of shipping the equipment, such as MRAPs, many of those already overseas are being offered to allies in the region.
Still, hundreds of MRAPs are available stateside, and being offered up to local police forces.
The vehicle Florence County acquired had been used for training.
“They’ve saved countless lives for our forces on the battlefield,” said Alan Estevez, principal deputy under secretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics. “And if local law enforcement can use them, it’s a benefit to the taxpayer.”
The military-transfer program has allowed police departments on tight budgets to obtain equipment ranging from binoculars to M16 rifles.
But the program also has its critics, who say arming police with military-grade equipment blurs the lines between cops and soldiers and encourages unnecessary confrontations and injuries.
“The military is trained to search and destroy — to go find the enemy and subdue them,” said Tim Lynch, director of the Project on Criminal Justice with the Cato Institute, a libertarian think thank. “What we want from our civilian police departments is to use the absolute minimum amount of force that may be necessary in some cases to bring a suspect into a court of law, where disputes can be resolved peacefully.”
While some police agencies using military equipment have faced pushback from the communities they serve, Florence County authorities say their MRAP has been well received because they use it judiciously. It’s been called into action three times over the year they’ve had it — once to respond to a barricaded gunman, and two times to stage offsite as backup while deputies were serving high-risk warrants.
“It’s totally defensive,” said Capt. Crouse. “There are no weapons on it at all. It’s a big heavy truck that just stops bullets.”

I could not believe what I had just heard on my TV. I was outraged. I was angry. Is this woman a complete idiot or is she the most condescending, arrogant and self-serving politician on the planet? This was my reaction upon hearing Hillary Clinton say regarding the Taliban five, “These five guys are not a threat to the United States.”
This statement alone should disqualify a Hillary Clinton presidency from ever seeing the light of day. There are only two reasons that she would make such an absurd statement; both are pretty scary coming from the possible leader of the free world.
Reason number one: Hillary truly is clueless and has totally bought into Obama's false narrative which says because Osama is dead terrorism is over. Numerous attacks which include the Boston Marathon bombing and the attack on our U.S. Consulate in Benghazi prove Obama's narrative is nothing more than a self-serving political lie. Do you see a pattern with this Administration; Obama, Hillary and company?
The second reason for Hillary making such an obviously insane statement is she assumes the American people are idiots. Low-info voters. Clueless. Talk about in your face disrespect. My goodness, this woman is so offensively arrogant and superior minded that she believes she can look into the TV camera and tell us it is sunny in the midst of a thunder storm.
Please forgive me if you think I am making too big of a deal about this. But folks, Hillary's statement speaks volumes about who she is and who she thinks we are. For crying out loud, experts and politicians across the board are expressing bipartisan enormous concern, fear and outrage over Obama releasing these five Taliban generals.
A majority of the American people know Obama made a horrible deal and are concerned about national security and more terrorist attacks. Everyone, I repeat everyone, knows we are less safe.
And yet, the person who seeks to become our new Commander-in-Chief says, chill out, releasing the worst-of-the-worst terrorists and providing them aid and comfort is no big deal.
In my way of thinking, this exposure of Hillary's mindset should immediately disqualify this either extremely naïve liberal or off-the-chain arrogant person from ever moving back into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Tea Party Patriots, Let’s pray for America. 6-14-14
Dear Lord Jesus, we thank you for all your blessings; you give us America the land of the free and we trust on you my Lord, our nation is on God’s side. Our congregation prays for our salvation, we prayed to accept you as our Lord and Savior, Lord we are sinners in need of forgiveness, let the Holy Spirit work on us, we ask to be redeemed and be forgiven for all our sins.
Lord we know that you are our salvation, we prayed and you answered. Lord now we understand that you made us a family, our brother’s keeper, America is on your side, not on the side of what we can get from taxing or controlling others. Lord we will be activists, we want moral leaders to stand for America and our Christian principles and God’s law “One Nation Under God”. Our beliefs and faith grow to millions, one-by-one because the work is done as individuals showing and telling one another the way to the right kind of change. Change one soul! Help change the core-belief or way of life of one person! Let the Truth change you, yourself, first and others by accepting and working God's plan while there is time. We can change the world Here's how if you want to pursue being on God's side for change. Be an activist for Christ our Lord, America is a nation under God and we obey God’s law, not man’s law.
Senator Boxer(D) and Senator Feinstein(D) of California introduce bill that could ultimately lead to the confiscation of your guns!
The bill would allow anyone to seek a "Firearm" Restraining Order against anyone else they deem is dangerous to themselves or others.
This bill is too vague and doesn't define any necessary terms or precautions with something as huge as this, as are most bills from people like these, so they can purposely interpret the bill and enforce it any way they need to.
You don't need new laws to stop violence. As in the case of the Las Vegas shootings that happened this last Sunday, there were a lot of people that knew what the shooters intended. The room mate of the shooters admitted they told her of their plan. All it would have taken is for someone in this case to call the police and inform them of the situation.
We don't need any new laws to get warped by the liberals to fit their agenda.
Here is a link to the story...
This is where America is at?
We now live in a society were sex deviants can work in a federally funded organization that focuses on teaching kids about abortions, sex, and even the illegal activities of both?
I first heard about this today and was utterly shocked. Where is the outcry from the public? Why would any parent allow this?
Of course this kind of sick agenda is totally embraced by the communist/liberal/democrat party of the left and propagated whenever and where ever possible, in schools, campuses, counseling rooms etc.
This is a tool of the insane liberals who want to indoctrinate and warp the minds of the young.
